Nate Jorgensen, CEO

Boise Cascade has a strong heritage as an ethical and responsible company. We believe we have a great opportunity to make a positive impact in our world, our industry, and the communities where we operate. Our Purpose and Values serve as the foundation for everything we do, including our approach to sustainability.  

At its core, Boise Cascade is a relationship company. We have continued to build upon a decades-long reputation of trust, with integrity at the center of the daily actions and decisions. As part of our commitment to an injury-free workplace, we share the accountability to watch out for each other’s safety every day, on every task. We are focused on a welcoming culture that reflects inclusion, belonging, and respect. In the pursuit of excellence, we are always seeking to be even better tomorrow than we are today for our customers and all the stakeholders that we serve, including applying best practices in our environmental management and forest stewardship programs. 

CLIMATE.  We are committed to implementing and maintaining sustainable practices throughout our manufacturing and distribution business processes. By encouraging the use of wood as a renewable resource and building choice that stores carbon for many years, we can make a positive impact on the effects of climate change. Since late 2021, we have been on an intentional journey to establish a Scope 1 and 2 inventory of emissions data across our operations. To support this initiative, we established a cross-functional team to research and select digital tools to support our efforts, which resulted in our investment in two programs. These programs enable us to aggregate data from all our utility providers and track all other Scope 1 and 2 emissions sources in an analytics program. This has been a large-scale effort involving many departments and every location in our Company. We are actively working toward sharing climate-related data we know matters to our stakeholders and prepares us to meet emerging climate regulations. 

SUPPLY CHAIN.  Because our suppliers play an important role in allowing us to maintain our well-respected reputation, we expect them to conduct business in ways that align with our Values and adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct. Our supply chain affords us the opportunity to offer a wide range of products and services and, more importantly, to establish meaningful relationships with our supply chain partners to promote ethical business practices.   

SAFETY. Promoting a culture of safety is fundamental to who we are as a Company, and it is our unwavering commitment. We work continuously to make Boise Cascade an injury-free workplace. 

While we know there is much work to do, we are proud of our investments, progress, and ongoing commitment to sustainability. 

It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of an organization with such a bright future.
